But getting them through that first 10 days can be tough.

Edit: To explain an little better for some who might be reading this thread who don't have experience with peanuts, peanut seed is actual peanuts. And pigs love peanuts. They will put their snout down in a fresh planted row and just follow it, scooping up all the seed. Peanut seed isn't cheap. And ground that should be growing something but isn't, because the seed is gone, is not cheap either. Because you already put down the chemical and fertilizer but don't have the yield to cover it. So you replant.

I’m thinking I’d be pissed off, they can jack up an oat patch if it doesn’t get rain on it quick.
